This learning resource is designed to help students master the creation and usage of map legends. Through hands-on activities, students will create unique symbols for new map features, such as a zoo or boathouse, and write mini-legends explaining their meanings. The document encourages creativity while emphasizing the importance of clarity and visibility in map symbols. Students are prompted to reflect on why a clear symbol is crucial for a map legend and are also challenged to think of alternative representations for the same features, promoting critical thinking and versatility in map-making. The resource includes success criteria to guide students in their design process and self-assessment questions to ensure their work meets the established standards.
